Gleaming Labs Turned To Rubble: Scientists Mourn The Loss Of Decades Of Medical Progress In Sudan

Universities and laboratories in Khartoum are looted or in ruins, with vital research and medicines destroyed, including pioneering work on tropical diseases All that I did over 40 years has turned to ashes before my eyes, says Prof Ahmed Fahal, of the destruction of his research centre in Sudans capital, Khartoum. His once-gleaming laboratory, where a team of white-coated expert clinicians once busied over their work, is now little more than rubble. I built everything from scratch. I knew every corner, every brick of the building. I cant describe the pain, he says.
